Cuberos

Friday, October 22, 2010

It’s official. Cuberos, sized for both scarf and shawl, is available for download at Patternfish. The printed patterns will be going out to yarn shops after I get it printed up.
Huge thank yous once again to everyone who participated in the naming event, with special thanks to Heidi (sadly blogless) who came up with the […]

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

When the folks at elann.com wanted to borrow my finished Gloriosa sweater for some modeled shots, I naturally said yes. They’d donated the yarn for the project, after all. They just got in a shipment of the lovely Peruvian Sierra Aran yarn, are doing a special, and have the photo of my sweater featured on […]

Friday, October 8, 2010

I’m going to make a concerted effort (I know, I know, I’ve said this before) to start blogging more again, and coming up with some interesting things.
I told you a while back that I named my Spanish Dancer pattern after a tiny sea creature called a nudibranch. There are a lot of different types […]
